Ingredients

2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
¼ cup honey or sugar
2 tablespoons water
½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water optional for thickening
½ teaspoon vanilla extract or ground cinnamon

Instructions

Pour the blueberries, honey, water, and lemon juice into a medium-sized saucepan. Place it on medium heat and gently stir to combine the ingredients.
Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the blueberries start to soften and create a natural juice.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together ½ teaspoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Incorporating this is optional but recommended if you prefer a thicker sauce.
Next, add the vanilla extract or ground cinnamon into the mixture. Following this, add the cornstarch slurry (optional), ensuring you stir continuously to avoid any lumps forming.
Allow the honey blueberry sauce to simmer for about 2-3 minutes more or until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the honey blueberry sauce cool slightly before serving. Add it to your chosen dish to experience the fresh blueberry flavor paired with the subtle sweetness of honey. Enjoy!

Notes

Choose ripe and fresh blueberries for superior flavor and color in the sauce.
Avoid overcooking blueberries, as they can become mushy.
Allow the sauce to cool before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to thicken.
